Bac Fu Do is a combination
of both Northern and Southern styles of Kung fu. Simultaneous
blocks and attacks are also favored, as it is believed that
this reduces an opponent's chances of reacting to and countering
the attack. Since Bac Fu Do uses a "soft" blocking
system, power can be channeled into the attacking technique.
Much emphasis is placed on the importance of breathing techniques.
Breathing becomes natural and deep, timing becomes instinctive,
fluidity and rapidity of physical movement becomes directly
linked to mental fluidity and rapidity of thought - to think
is to act - and that which was once practiced without complete
understanding is revealed.

There are many styles
of Kung Fu but all teach that technique must become a reflex.
Effective self-defence training relies heavily on the development
of mind/body reflexes. You do not have time to think in a
fight, but must react without conscious thought to avoid defeat.
The only way to gain mind / body reflexes is by repetitive,
serious training in basic techniques, paying the utmost regard
to the basic principles of your training.
